Arab football clubs have set their sights on two players from Botafogo, with defender Victor Cuesta and striker Tiquinho Soares being targeted in recent polls. According to reports from the “Canal do TF,” both players have a rescission fine of €30 million (R$157 million) in their contracts, should they decide to leave the Brazilian club and move abroad.
Interestingly, the termination fine for clubs outside Brazil is the same as that of Eduardo, another player who recently received interest from a club fund in Saudi Arabia. Despite the attention from Arab clubs, Botafogo is not considering negotiating the transfers of their key players.
Botafogo, currently leading the Brazilian Championship, has been facing constant harassment from other clubs for their star players, as well as their coach Luís Castro. However, it seems that Castro has already made it clear to the board that he will not accept a proposal from Al-Nassr, as reported by “O Globo.”
The news of Cuesta and Soares being targeted by Arab clubs has caused a stir in the football world, with fans and pundits speculating on their potential destinations. The €30 million rescission fine reflects the value that Botafogo places on these players and their importance to the team.
As the transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen whether any Arab club will meet the hefty price tag set by Botafogo for the services of Cuesta and Soares. In the meantime, the Brazilian club will continue to focus on their campaign in the Brazilian Championship, aiming to maintain their position at the top of the table.
